If the DR mode does not appear even when holding down the appropriate button on your Icom Transceiver, it may be because there is no repeater list in your radio. Reload the repeater list using the CS-51 cloning software, a microSD card, or enter the Repeater list data directly into the transceiver.
How to fix transmitting using VOX function on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
If you cannot transmit using the VOX function on your Icom Transceiver, the VOX Level may be set to OFF or too low; set it to a suitable level. Also, the MIC Gain may be too low; set the MIC Gain to a suitable level.
Why Gateway call cannot be made on Icom Transceiver?
If you can make a local area call, but not a Gateway or destination station call on your Icom Transceiver, your MY call sign may not be registered on a D-STAR repeater. Register your own call sign (MY) on a gateway repeater, or confirm the registration of the call sign.
Why program scan does not start on Icom ID-51A?
If a Program Scan does not start on your Icom Transceiver, ensure that you are not in memory mode, Call channel mode, Weather channel mode, or DR mode. Push [V/MHz] to select the VFO mode. Also, ensure that different frequencies are programmed in the scan edge channels, “?A” and “?B,” and that one or more pairs of scan edge channels have been programmed.

What does L mean on Icom ID-51A Transceiver during transmission?
If “L” appears on the LCD and the received audio is interrupted during transmission on your Icom Transceiver, some packets may be lost due to network error (poor data throughput performance) while receiving through the internet. Wait a while, and try it again.
Why repeater replies RPT and call sign on Icom Transceiver?
If the repeater replies 'RPT?' and the call sign of the destination repeater after your call on the Icom Transceiver, the repeater cannot connect to the destination repeater. Check the repeater setting. Alternatively, the repeater may be busy, so wait a while and try again.

Why repeater replies RX or RPT and access repeater's call sign on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
If, after your call, the repeater replies ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the access repeater’s call sign on your Icom Transceiver, your own call sign (MY) has not been set. Set your own call sign (MY). Alternatively, your own call sign (MY) has not been registered on a gateway repeater, or the registered contents do not match your transceiver’s setting. Register your own call sign (MY) on a gateway repeater, or confirm the registration of the call sign.
